Introduction:Want to know the coffee prices on Starbucks’ 2023 latest menu and how to use the secret menu to customize more personalized flavors? This article details the price ranges of Starbucks’ four major beverage series—including espresso, Frappuccino, Teavana, and cold brew—and explains how to actually order from the popular secret menu and what to watch out for, helping you enjoy coffee that better suits your taste while avoiding common pitfalls.

Starbucks’ complete 2023 menu covers four main series: handcrafted espresso, Frappuccino, Teavana, and cold brew coffee. Each drink varies slightly in price based on size (tall, grande, venti), with tall sizes generally ranging between 25 and 48 yuan. This article not only provides a detailed price chart but also delves into the truth behind the so-called "secret menu"—which is not an official menu, but rather personalized options created by customers through customizations (such as changing the milk type, adding syrups or whipped cream) to standard drinks.

Many secret menu items circulating online cannot be understood if shown directly to staff. The correct approach is to first order a basic drink, then clearly explain the desired modifications—such as changing the milk, adding syrup, or adjusting ice and whipped cream. This way, you can enjoy the flavor you truly want.

In the handcrafted espresso series, tall sizes are priced between about 25 and 34 yuan, all based on espresso. Popular choices include Mocha (venti 39 yuan, grande 36 yuan, tall 33 yuan), Oatmeal/soy/dairy/non-dairy latte or cappuccino (tall 30 yuan), vanilla or hazelnut latte (tall 33 yuan), Americano (tall 27 yuan), caramel macchiato (tall 34 yuan), and flat white (tall 41 yuan). These are Starbucks staples and daily go-tos for many customers.

The Frappuccino series consists of blended drinks, with tall sizes priced around 30 to 35 yuan. They are not available without ice or as hot drinks, feature rich flavors and sweetness. Popular flavors include Caramel Coffee Frappuccino (tall 33 yuan), Chocolate Frappuccino (tall 33 yuan), Matcha Crème Frappuccino (tall 33 yuan), Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino (tall 31 yuan), Espresso Frappuccino (tall 33 yuan), and Mango Passionfruit Frappuccino (tall 31 yuan). These are great summer cool-down options, but note the high sugar content.

The Teavana series uses tea leaves or tea powder, contains no caffeine at all, with tall prices between 25 and 34 yuan. Representative drinks include Iced Peach Green Tea (tall 34 yuan), Iced Blackcurrant Tea (tall 28 yuan), and Iced Lemon Tea (tall 26 yuan), suitable for customers who don’t drink coffee but still want a refreshing iced tea.

The cold brew series uses low-temperature, long-extraction methods to deliver bold, layered flavors. Tall prices range widely, from 25 to 48 yuan. Examples include Cold Brew Iced Coffee (tall 34 yuan), Tahitian Mood Cloud Cold Brew (tall 37 yuan), and Nitro Cold Brew (tall 48 yuan). Among them, Nitro Cold Brew is priced higher due to its special processing method, ideal for coffee lovers seeking novel flavors.

Currently, several popular secret menu items are circulating online, ordered as follows:"Cold Brew Iced Coffee with full ice and 2 pumps of whipped cream"—recommended for customers who enjoy bold flavors but fear bitterness, as full ice and extra whipped cream make it smoother and richer;"Oat Red Tea Yuenyeung Coffee Latte"—a creative combo where a non-coffee red tea latte is mixed with a shot of espresso, and the milk can be switched to oat milk, mimicking the flavor of Hong Kong-style Yuenyeung;"Vanilla Cream Iced Americano"adds 2 pumps of vanilla syrup and a bit of whipped cream to an iced americano, resulting in a smooth, refreshing vanilla ice cream-like texture, perfect for summer; while"Iced Shaken Oolong Lemon Tea with no sugar"is a refreshing, reduced-sugar or sugar-free option—if it’s too sour, you can request just one pump of sugar to adjust.

Note that many highly photogenic, colorful secret menu drinks often use seasonal or limited ingredients, which may not always be in stock at your local store—best to ask before ordering. Also, eye-catching presentation doesn’t guarantee great flavor, so choose drinks mainly based on personal taste, and avoid prioritizing photos over actual drinking experience.
